pZLib v3 (Final release)

[doofoo24]

[External compressor:msc]
;Alt: -f = Forced on bigger data //-frog=9 use this instead of -tak=9 = yields error on decomp.
header = 0
packcmd = msc.exe c -v -wav=1 -raw=1 -bmp=1 -ddsraw=1 -ddsdxt=1 -mp3=1 -bmf=9s -tak=9 -dxt=1 -lzma=hc4,lc8,lp2,pb2,fb273,mc1000 $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

usually i compress filles separately zlib / media / etc...
on small game i use msc before pzlib
msc+pzlib+srep+lzma

Well, I'm using CLS-diskspan to create the disc size split so separately is not an option but I'll try your MSC arc.ini entry, maybe it will work.

Thanks.

ok msc done on dds
Compressed 18,571 files, 11,173,425,105 => 8,818,080,553 bytes. Ratio 78.92%
test decompression all file crc ok...
well all that left is to use msc+pzlib+srep+lolz to get the best result when it done i will update...
so the final size msc+pzlib+srep+lolz it worst without msc ???

Any news?

From some reason, whenever I try msc+pzlib+srep64+lzma64 the compression just ends after MSC, without any errors but without completing the compression and writing the data file so I end up with a final disc folder that only have the Setup.exe, Setup.ico & Autorun.inf and is less than 60MB in size (which is the Setup.exe size)

I tried it with different pzlib versions and settings, it keeps happening.

the ratio seem to be worst with MSC+pzlib+srep+lolz. i get 9.8gb ???
other pople who repack Assetto Corsa get 6.8gb...
i don't know what setting.
i am out of idea right now ???

6.8GB could be with not fully updated game and/or not all DLCs, I honestly haven't seen a repack for v1.16 and all DLCs that is less than 9.0GB.

The 6.8GB repacks seems to be for v1.14.

I'm gonna do another 1-2 tries, if nothing works I'll just settle for either 2xDVD5+1xCD or maybe 1xDVD9+1xDVD5 (or both) using Srep64+Lzma64 only,

Because so far, the differences between all attempts were minor and insignificant, and the Srep64+Lzma64 was the quickest one.
